CRYSTAL CASTLES LYRICS - Pap Smear

"Pap Smear"



You never got to bloom

They cut you from the stem

You're innocent at birth

until you understand



Repeat every word that you say to me

They put you to use or put you to sleep

I cant tell you the difference between

an embryo or a planted seed



So many shades of white

So many shades of pale

I know what you hate

so i do it constantly



Many shades of white

Many shades of pale

I know how to cut

a wound that will not heal



Consistancy of dirt

Insects that spun your silk

They wait for gratitude

They wait for mother's milk



Repeat every word that you say to me

They put you to use or put you to sleep

I cant tell you the difference between

an embryo or a planted seed



So many shades of white

So many shades of pale

I know what you hate

so i do it constantly



Many shades of white

Many shades of pale

I know how to cut

a wound that will not heal
